Religion and spirituality

Religion
is a cultural phenomenon whilst spirituality is a personal matter. A
person doesn't need religion to think that life is meaningful or even
"divine". Neither can the concept of God, or a transcendent Good, be owned by
any one religion. I also think it's possible to love many of the
prophets and follow their teachings, where they exhibit wisdom, without
aligning to any one particular religion. I don't think it needs to be
an either/or, or divisive in any way, as many religions have made out.
That is the human ego at play. Creation is one and so wisdom should
also point to this unity.
